Several years ago I was facing the greatest crisis of my
life. I was out walking in the mountains
trying to deal with the weight of it. I
found myself walking along this rock face when I came upon this crack. I put my hands upon the rock, one on each
side of the crack. I had come to the end
of what I could handle. This crack
represented for me the cost of crisis to break me but also a dividing line, I
could go on with Christ or I could escape into my self. It was a seminal moment for me. I came home and made the sculpture, “A
Cigarette, A Budweiser or A Bible?” which is now part of West Tennessee
Regional Art Center’s permanent collection.
The crisis still lingered on for several years but my testimony
today is that it concluded in the greatest miracle of the last 20 years of my
life.
(I took these images yesterday as I went back to renew my faith
in Him.)
